Our new vessel "Explorer",
designed and built in 1996, is a custom 30' aluminum
boat. It serves us well in providing the stability,
comfort, visibility and feel of a larger vessel in combination
with the speed, beachability, and maneuverability of
a smaller boat.
The Explorer has a heated cabin, an enclosed head
(bathroom), and is beachable for easy landings.

Our rates for water taxi service are economical and based on mileage
to and from drop-off and pickup locations. Day tours and escorted
sea kayaking costs are based on the number
of people (up to six) and your specific interests. Overnight tours
can also be arranged.
Scuba diving rates are based on a location/time basis.
We are happy to provide suggestions and logistical information to
make your trip into Western Prince William Sound safe and enjoyable.
